Xpert® MTB/RIF is a new test that quickly detects TB and resistance to rifampicin, one of the major drugs for treating the disease. Xpert® MTB/RIF is automated and can detect TB bacteria at low concentrations. In addition, the test does not require expert staff or an advanced laboratory.EB is endometrial biopsy which is taken as a opd procedure and helps diagnosing TB affecting endometrium.Both these tests are absolutely important as TB is one of the leading cause of infertility.thank you
